Quote from CF Policies page and CF literature:
"You are strongly encouraged to attend the Beginner class(es) prior to attending Advanced classes. In this way, you will learn the exercises, pace and format. You will feel better about attending Advanced classes and will not slow the pace for Advanced participants."

At CF decisions about what class to attend are not at all about "perceived" fitness level. And it's not a decision to be taken lightly. For the majority of CFers, CF is a home, family, and lifestyle. It's not a fad, gimmick, or passing fancy. Attending a Beginner Class (or two) will allow you to avoid injury, learn to perform exercises properly, and get results...make good choices.

Ah yes, but every coin has another side? Encouraging some folks to come out of their shells! The CF schedule offers a terrific variety of classes at various times. If you know about 7/10 CF exercises, you are familiar with the formats (circuits, reps/rounds, count up/down), and know the expected pace...then come out of your shell and attend other (ie, Advanced classes). CF is about Roots and Wings, baby, Roots and Wings!

I like the fly on the wall and wish I would have been one.

Matt D. Interesting post, I believe the "ego" gets in the way in many cases, so I guess "we" should take this guy's approach to "teaching"...

"A lot of my work has to do with not allowing my characters to have an ego in a way that the stomach doesn't have an ego when it's wanting to throw up. It just does it." ...Matt Barney
